The RISE story

RISE Adaptive Sports has offered free, year-round adaptive recreation in North Texas since 2007. Kayaking, handcycling, wheelchair rugby, camping on Lake Grapevine — real outdoor adventures, built for people with physical disabilities.

Nobody does it alone. Parents, spouses, care partners, support people, and friends are part of every session — cheering, paddling alongside, or trying the equipment themselves. That is why everything in our app is built around the household, not the individual.

Programs stay free because donors and community partners cover equipment, transportation, and trained staff. Your only job is to show up.

See RISE in action

Participants and the people who support them share the whole experience.

How to participate

  1. Step 1

    Register yourself first

    Create your free RISE account in your own name, even when you are signing up a family member or client.

  2. Step 2

    Add the people you support

    Add the family members or clients you manage. Each person appears in the RSVP list after you add them once.

  3. Step 3

    Sign the waivers

    Sign your own waiver. You can also sign for a child or someone under your guardianship. Waivers renew once a year.

  4. Step 4

    Choose a session and RSVP

    Pick a free session, choose everyone who is coming, and send the group RSVP together.

  5. Step 5

    Check in with My QR

    At the program, open My QR. One code checks in everyone on that RSVP.

Using the app

  • Your account is the home base

    Your profile, your family members, your RSVPs, and your waivers all live on the Account page.

  • Waivers happen online

    Sign each person’s waiver from your account the first time you RSVP. Waivers renew every year, and the app reminds you when yours is due.

  • Plans change — that’s fine

    Open My RSVPs to cancel or update any sign-up. Canceling frees the spot for another family.

  • Bring the crew

    Programs are built for participants, family, and friends. Camping at Meadowmere Park has no per-guest fee.
